Abstract (en)

Provided is a lens for eyewear. The lens comprises: a first transparent substrate that includes a diffraction region in which a plurality of convex strips and groove sections are formed in alternation in concentric circles; a second transparent substrate that faces the first transparent substrate in a prescribed direction; a liquid crystal layer disposed in a space present between the diffraction region and the second transparent substrate; and a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode that impress a voltage on the liquid crystal layer. The diffraction region comprises a first diffraction region and a second diffraction region that is disposed in at least part of a portion different from the first diffraction region. The space comprises: groove-shaped spaces present between the groove sections and the second transparent substrate; and a communicating space disposed between at least part of the convex shapes of the second diffraction region and the second transparent substrate, and communicating between neighboring groove-shaped spaces. Due to this configuration, a lens for eyewear is provided in which a liquid crystal material can be suitably disposed between a first transparent substrate and a second transparent substrate.
